The Juggler and the Drunk

A Pennsylvania State Trooper pulled a car over on I-81 about 2 miles
north of the Pa/Md State line. When the Trooper asked the driver why he
was speeding, the driver answered that he was a magician and a
juggler and he was on his way to Harrisburg to do a show that night at
the Zembo Shrine Circus and didn't want to be late. The Trooper told
the driver he was fascinated by juggling, and if the driver would do a
little juggling for him that he wouldn't give him a ticket. The driver
told the Trooper that he had sent all of his equipment on ahead and
didn't have anything to juggle. The Trooper told him that he had some
flares in the trunk of his patrol car and asked if he could juggle
them. The juggler stated that he could and asked the Trooper to light
them. The Trooper got three flares, lit them and handed them to the
juggler.
While the man was doing his juggling act, a car pulled in behind the
patrol car, a drunk got out and watched the performance briefly, he then
went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in. The
Trooper observed him doing this and went over to the patrol car, opened
the door and asked the drunk what he thought he was doing. The drunk
replied, 'You might as well take me to jail, cause there's no way
I can pass that test!!!!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
